 Objective:
Explain how the organs of each
organ system work together
(S6LT-IIa-b-1)

• Value Focus: Being healthy is not all about keeping the

body physical fit.
Engagement:

How will you compare that to the human body?

Is there a framework that provides structure to the

human body?
Exploration

Group 1 connect
the different
parts,
Group 2 identify
the different
parts,
Group 3 explain
the different
function
 EXPLANATION:

Each group
will post their work in
the board.
 Skeletal
system

• axial and
the
appendicul
ar skeleton
Classification of Bones
 Skeletal System

• Functions:
1. Provides shape & support
2. Helps you move
3. Protects organs
4. Produces blood cells
5. Stores certain materials

 Skeletal System

• Protects internal organs:

• Skull … protects the brain
• Ribs … protect the heart & lungs
• Vertebrae … protects the spinal
cord
• Femur … produces blood cells in
the leg
• Humerus … produces blood
cells in the arm
 Organs of the Skeletal System

• Bones
• Cartilage
• Connective tissue that is more flexible than bone
• Ex: nose, tops of ears, ends of bones

• Ligaments
• Hold bones together to form joints

 Bone Marrow
• Marrow – soft connective tissue found in spaces in bone
• Red marrow
• Produces the body’s blood cells
• Yellow marrow
• Stores fat (energy reserve)
EVALUATION:
Matching type: Match the parts of the skeletal system
in column A with the functions in column B.
Column A Column B
1. Skull a. the inner layer of the bone that

contains yellowish substance which

manufacture blood cells in the body.
2. Spinal column b. protects the spinal cord
3. Bones c. a rigid case that protects the
brain
4. Hinge joint d. allows movement in all
direction
5. Ball and socket e. allows movement in one
direction
